I love sending photo cards of the children at Christmas. So I am constantly on the look-out for a great photo. Being in WV this Thanksgiving, the kids were all dressed to match and my grandmother's house is beautiful. Perfect!


So photo-taking at my grandmother's house was a bust. No need to fear. While we were staying with my sister and her husband in New Jersey on the way home, we visited the spectacular Longwood Gardens. These gardens were incredible and there were a plethora of possible photo sites. Here we go...
I loved this Christmas tree display. However, I was not crazy about the fact that the kids were wearing their outerwear. Plus the whole standing idea did not work.
Let's try sitting down. Nope, Clare just wanted to stand. Jamie did a great job holding Simon, but Simon was too distracted by the flowers and lights.


We finally find a display that is not only gorgeous, but located right at a bench (no standing, no sitting on the floor). We are inside the warm conservatory of gardens and the kids actually match (and not on purpose).

LOL! those photos are gorgeous!
- i have never managed to get a "perfect" photo of all 3 kids... but i have decided that the stuff ups are probably better really as they show their true personalities!
You have absolutely beautiful children!
I love that look on Clare's face in the second picture. She is too much. I'm sure the perfect picture will pop up sooner or later. Hopefully sooner :)
That was so funny. I love how you narrated yourself through the explanations of photo after photo. Hilarious.
Beautiful children!
Those pictures had me laughing out loud. Your children are beautiful even in these less than perfect poses. I feel your pain and I am only managing two squirming kids!
Oh, that was funny. Those pics sure tell a story. Cute, cute, cute. You have adorable kids.
You crack me up! :) I wsa just about to post my deliverence into Hell trying to take the Xmas picture too. The one is ended up with is FABULOUS, but Brady's hair is of course standing up. What else is new????
AHHH The plight of the Christmas Card Picture...ugh! This year we let a professional handle it....but usually we end up doing it ourselves so I understand. Last year we couldn't "get it" so I used individual pics. of each kid in a collage photo online. Good luck! Happy photo snapping!
I love your post!
Great pics. Your kids are gorgeous.
One word, Photoshop.
XOXO
